Abstract

<p>In this paper, I will introduce recent research findings pertaining to phonological acquisition by L2 learners of Japanese, and discuss the application of these findings to teaching Japanese pronunciation.</p><p>The results of three studies show that: 1) Japanese learners realize that their pronunciation problems would cause miscommunication; 2) adult learners of Japanese can attain native-level pronunciation; and 3) good learners have achieved the ultimate level in Japanese pronunciation because of their attitude towards learning pronunciation, their study methods and the amount of input.</p><p>Following these research findings, it is suggested that we facilitate autonomous learning by establishing learning environments inside/outside the classroom. This allows learners to practice pronunciation and provides them with learning opportunities. Three examples are presented: 1) DVD for shadowing practice, 2) on-demand Japanese pronunciation course, and 3) software for practicing Japanese pronunciation.</p>
